As the Duchess of Cambridge enters her third trimester, the royal couple has plenty of decisions to make before their baby's due date this summer. Among them: Will Prince William be at his wife's side as she gives birth?

"I'm sure he'll be there," Robert Jobson, the "Godfather of Royal Reporting," told Now magazine this week. "It's become more common recently with the royal family — Peter Phillips, for instance, was at the birth of his daughters Savannah and Isla."

Jobson, who was given his nickname by the Wall Street Journal, has been a royal correspondent for Britain's The Sun, Daily Express and London Evening Standard and has reported several royal scoops. He is also the author of William and Kate: The Love Story.

If Jobson's theory is correct, William would be following in the footsteps of his father, Prince Charles, who was present when Diana, Princess of Wales, gave birth to William on June 21, 1982.
